Paula Stokes returns to the world of Vicarious in this sequel, a high-action psychological thriller with a protagonist out for vengeance.

When Winter Kim finds out that her sister is dead and that she has a brother she never knew about, only two things matter―finding what’s left of her family and killing the man who destroyed her life. Her mission leads her from St. Louis to Los Angeles back to South Korea, where she grew up.

Things get increasingly dangerous once Winter arrives in Seoul. Aided by her friends Jesse and Sebastian, Winter attempts to infiltrate an international corporation to get close to her target, a nefarious businessman named Kyung. But keeping her last remaining loved ones out of the line of fire proves difficult, and when all seems to be lost, Winter must face one last devastating decision: is revenge worth sacrificing everything for? Or can she find a spark of hope in the darkness that threatens to engulf her?

Paula Stokes is the author of several novels, most recently Vicarious and Girl Against the Universe. Her writing has been translated into eleven foreign languages. Paula loves kayaking, hiking, reading, and seeking out new adventures in faraway lands. She also loves interacting with readers.

This one was awesome but I have to say that this one made book one look kinda meh. In this one were on the journey to steal back some tech. Unlike book one where we are just trying to solve your sister's murder but in this one we have this kick butt, amazing high stakes, action packed, story.

I have to say that I wish book one would have been like this one. This one has tons of great action (stabby stab stab!!!), shooting, and bad ass girls (which was awesome!). The setting was perfect! I can't help but say that I fell in love with Korea in another series that was fantasy. This one is also set there and it was perfect! I loved reading about the food and the area. I liked the fact that the author didn't shy away from Winter's illness and that she explored it more in this book. I also loved the romance in this one. Winter and Jesse were perfect! (no instalove in this one yay). I do wish that this one would have had the mystery elements that book one had. I liked wondering what was going on and not being sure of who you could trust. It made the book an edge of your seat read. This one however lacked that mystery and focused much more on the characters and action.

This one was good if you liked book one you will enjoy this one as well.
